in Introduce Yourself
I want to try something here as I still can not see any results and I am getting upset. If you will please go to my profile and look at my 2 photos. one was taken on 9/19/13 when I was 358.8 the other today 12/30/13 at 303.4 please let me know if you can see any results. I just do not. But as I said in my last post. I have loss 7'' off my waist, 2'' off my chest, 1'' off my hips'1'' off my legs.

best chris

    Hey Chris,

    I can definitely see a difference! We see our selves everyday so it's hard to see the change :-)

    Great job! Keep up the hard work and don't let that discouragement in your head!

    I can definitely see a difference, not only in your face, but in the way your clothes are distinctly loose fitting in the second picture!

    It's hard to see a difference while we're losing. I take a picture every week so I can see the progression. It's startling when you look at the starting picture then the 30 day picture and the 40 day picture!

    Keep up the amazing work!

    Oh good lord - your face is much thinner as is your torso - yes, the results show.

    Yes I can see a big difference! You should be very proud of what you have managed to do this far. Sometimes because we see ourselves everyday is if difficult to see the changes that everyone else can. You can definately tell that you are getting smaller in the photos!! Keep up the great work!

    for sure - definite changes visible there. It might help if you buy a couple of new clothing items, just to show yourself that you need smaller clothing, and if it is more fitted, the differences will be more visible to you even when you look at yourself.

    I can definitely see it in your face, but because the first picture is so dark it's hard to see how big you are and compare it to the newer picture, but if you can see it in the face then i'm sure you can see it other places as well. However, with people that are morbidly obese it will take longer for just general people to notice differences day to day because you know you lose 50 lbs and you're still obese, so don't get discouraged if people don't seem to notice, and keep taking pictures to see the progress yourself!

    Yes there is definitely a big difference in your face and how your clothes fit. Your 1st pic is a little dark and harder to see what you actually looked like, so maybe that is giving you some problems in seeing the difference. Concentrate on one specific area such as your face and it may make it easier for you to see.

    You have done a great job so far. Don't get discouraged!!! Keep up the great work.

    And, just in case I sounded snarky (did not mean to be) - you are doing GREAT! You are making fantastic progress.

    Absolutely you can tell a difference! And if you're concerned with muscle loss, just make sure you're getting your protein in and lift some heavy stuff to maintain the muscle you have now. :D ETA: Also, way to go! Great progress. Keep at it. It takes a lot of time and even more effort, but so worth it.

    yep, there's a difference....I think we've all been there, it is truly difficult to see results, I read this somewhere before, but we all need to keep it in our minds:

    “IT TAKES 4 WEEKS FOR YOU TO NOTICE YOUR BODY CHANGING, 8 WEEKS FOR YOUR FRIENDS TO NOTICE, AND 12 WEEKS FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD TO NOTICE. GIVE IT 12 WEEKS. DON’T QUIT!” –UNKNOWN


    congrats to you, keep making a difference!
